Abstract:
Several gas-vacuolate microorganisms have been found in Solar Lake, a stratified heliothermal saline pool in Sinai. The most abundant of these organisms is a new cyanobacterium Dactylococcopsis salina. I t has been isolated and grown in a defined culture medium, and its biology has been studied in the lake throughout two annual periods of stratification.
